The Luck of Roaring Camp

The Luck of Roaring Camp

Then, they heard the new baby's cry.

The trees suddenly quiet. The river stopped. 

The fire didn't make a sound. 

One hundred men stood up at the same time.

“The Luck of Roaring Camp,” a short story by American author Brett Harte published in 1868, tells the story of a child born to a declining gold prospecting camp. Believing the child to be good luck, the men of the camp decide to raise him as their own.

It has a lot of pages in this book. And it's vocabulary is little hard for me. But it was interesting to see the men struggling to raise children that they were not used to. So I recommend it!
